Brought to you by Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons.The art of travelling with children is in itself in-car entertainment.It doesn’t matter whether it’s a screen or a game of moving I-Spy (the rules of which tend to be fluid when you’re in motion); you just need to stop them from killing each other in the back.Stop often for a stretch of the legs and to peel your little monkeys off one another. Sing loudly while they complain about who’s breathing on them.Welcome to your incredible shared moments of joy - in association with Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons.1) Féile Brian Ború, Co Clare: June 29 - July 2County Clare is celebrating the legacy of its most famous son Brian Ború, with a weekend of historical guided tours on land and lake.
